Work That Matters saves probation & parole jobs

Great news!
Probation & Parole positions reinstated

16 new positions for Montana State Prison too

2007 Legislature - Thanks to hard work by our MEA-MFT lobbyists, MEA-MFT members who contacted legislators, and our Work That Matters campaign, it looks like our probation & parole officer members will get some much-needed help.

These officers keep our communities safe by supervising criminals released from prison. Some officers have caseloads of over 100, making it nearly impossible to track all the offenders under their supervision. These officers need more help!

House Republicans then replaced the Dept. of Corrections budget with House Bill 806, which cut the new probation and parole positions in half.
